Remarks: Momentarily blocking out the sun, the Chicago Rail Link heads for the former Rock Island Burr Oak Yard in Blue Island going past Metra's Washington Heights stop at 103rd St. on the mainline. These 2 geeps were really smoking it up!

The spirit of Steam lives on inside these locos :-) Smoky video - Very Good ! I like it !

Awesome! I think I asked you this before... but how often does this happen? I know they run almost everyday, but I've never heard of them running south this late in the morning... I've only shot them heading back north and that was at noon.

Great video! The crossing bells unfortunately partially drown out the sweet din of the 567's though. Still, its nice to see old power like this doing the daily routine.

Beautiful, Marshall! There's nothing like the sound of good "Old" LaGrange power!

Excellent! was that the same school bus?

Posted by ACLTony on June 16, 2008

Wow! That's excessive, even for an EMD 567. Smokes more like an ALCO 251! Nice seeing this classic power. No telling how much longer it'll be around.

AWESOME! A GP18 and a CF7 on a big freight. I'm somewhat jealous. I work for the NYS&W in NJ and were fighting to get our 3 GP18's back in service. Upper management has leased GP38-2's that may be newer but they sure aren't as good. Our 18's were also upgraded from 567 to 645 power assemblies back around 1990 so they have great power. We miss the quick response of older relay's in the electrical cabinet. "-2" electronics may be reliable but they take FOREVER to change directions or build power.

Marshall ALWAYS gets the good stuff!

Marshall, you did it again--wonderful footage of a line totally new to me. I would really like tosee more, if doable. One davor, if I might venture; could you be willing to show the entire train, if going at a decent clip? For myself, that adds a lot to tthe train. Again; great shot.
